Thank you Alan. Will the purple Cal's have any negative effects at high temperatures,  both warm weather and when it heats up a lot during long runs at heavy drag or is it the same in that regard?

Quote from: alantani on Today at 03:34:44 PMcal sheets has a purple greases for low temps.  either one will work just fine.  for an all purpose grease (everything except drag washers), any good quality marine grease will be fine.  i use yamalube marine, but anything will do.  for an all purpose oil, i like corrosion x.  you can buy a pump spray bottle and transfer it to any dropper bottle.  and for a bearing lube, i use TSI 321. 
For the bearing oil, since I don't need crazy free spinning,unlikely to be casting weights under 8 ounces, would reel x work just as well for the bearings or does the tsi 321 still have a significantly better performance,  especially in terms of preventing corrosion?
It's just a bit of a pain to get here/I'm shirt on cash but it's not enough for me to care if it actually matters, but since I won't be liveliness and frankly don't really care about freespool/need to thumb/use my mc cast control I was wondering if it makes sense at all to have a super light oil, or even if potentially a light grease might even be better.
For example,between the Makaira Sea and Fold I don't really notice a difference in how well they cast even though one has tsi321 the other is grease packed
